A Very Diva Christmas
Friday, December 20th
Letter from the President
We are celebrating our 95th season, and what a season! We are shaking things up a bit this year. We start the season with Heartache Tonight outside on the riverfront. This is without a doubt the finest Eagles tribute in the country. In October we move to The Capitol Theater for Rhapsody and the Blues to celebrate the 100 -year anniversary of “Rhapsody in Blue” featuring Canadian Jens Lindmann, who was the first classical brass soloist to ever receive the Order of Canada and is considered one of most celebrated artists in his instrument’s history. December brings A Very Diva Christmas at the auditorium. Backed by a dynamic live band, or tracks, The Divas will pay tribute to classic Christmas hits that have warmed hearts for generations. “A Very Diva Christmas” promises a night of holiday magic that will have you dancing, and singing along, and leaving with hearts filled with Christmas cheer! In March we again will be at The Capitol Theater with No More Talk of Darkness – Jeremy Stolle. “No More Talk of Darkness”, one of the many famous quotes in the world-renowned musical The Phantom of the Opera, perfectly describes this wonderful evening. Jeremy Stolle is a current Phantom veteran with over a decade of experience wearing the mask. Broadway World writes that “Stolle is ridiculously talented, with a big sound and an incredibly versatile instrument.” The evening visits a tribute to Rogers and Hammerstein, a section from Phantom and will include such songs as “Both Sides Now” from Joni Mitchell. We close the 95th season back at the auditorium with The Mancini Centennial, a captivating show celebrating the extraordinary compositions of Henry Mancini on his 100th birthday. From his early days with the Glenn Miller Orchestra to iconic classics like “Charade,” Breakfast at Tiffany’s,” and “The Pink Panther” a concise narration offers fascinating insight into Mancini’s illustrious career.
This our 95th season covers music from over 100 years. From Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue to Phantom of the Opera this season is sure to have something sure to please anyone. Hope to see you this season.
